Welcome to DPD!The DPD Project is a thematic mix-CD project created by music geeks and best friends Chris Diamond, Chris Prokop, and Michael Darpino. Each CD in the project has a theme that ties the songs on it together. For every theme we each pick five songs that we feel best represent it. The collected fifteen songs are then mixed together in alternating order based on our last names. The songs that end up on DPD are meant to be the very best songs for their particular theme. We write liner notes for each song to explain why we picked it for that theme. The project has grown into a sort of musical memoir over the years since music has been and still is such a huge part of our lives. Most Recent Discs:

Random DPD Pick:Sonic Reducer by: The Dead Boys from: Young Loud & Snotty Picked By: darpino For: DPD: 070 - American Punk The Dead Boys are one of the big daddy original American punk bands. Right up there with The Stooges and The Ramones, these guys started it all. A statement that I'll back up with bloody knuckles and a broken beer bottle shiv any night of the week. If the Stooges put the manic gleam into Punk Rock's eyes, and the Ramones gave Punk it's style and attitude, it was the Dead Boys who gave Punk it's dangerous edge and hardened fists. As evidenced by the horrific NY street knife-fight story as told by the Dead Boys in "Please Kill Me" the excellent oral history of punk. "Sonic Reducer" is one of the ultimate apathy-hiding-pain, "one of these days you'll all be sorry" songs. And that makes it one of my favorite Punk songs of all time. That angry muttering fuck-all-you-assholes self-reliance taps into my inner punk kid in the basement every time. And let's not forget the awesome guitar solo, Stiv Bator's howl mid-way through, and of course that cool-ass muted drumming. Nowadays kids shoot up their schools after a bad week, when I was a kid I'd throw on a Dead Boys record. |
